Palermo striker Paulo Dybala has attracted the interest of Manchester United, according to the Italian club's president, Maurizio Zamparini, but he won't be sold until the summer.

Dybala, 21, has been described as 'the new Sergio Aguero' and Zamparini has set his fee at over £31million having bought him from Instituto for just £9m back in 2012.

The Argentine has netted nine goals in 17 appearances this season and that has not gone unnoticed by those at Old Trafford.

'Dybala is worth over €40m but I won't sell him until June,' Zamparini told Radio Due. 'Many foreign clubs asked after him, including Manchester United.

'I told the English side that he is not for sale right now, but we can talk about it again in six months. In my view, he is the best striker in Europe at the moment.'

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal could bring in Dybala with summer loan signing Radamel Falcao failing to make a true impact in the Premier League, with his stint so far hindered by injuries.

Dybala's performances have caught the eye of many, including former Manchester United coach Phil Neville. In an exclusive interview with Sportsmail, he said: 'There’s a player at Palermo who is going to be a superstar, by the way. Paulo Dybala. Remember that name.'
